Beautiful site to visit sin is absolutely left to itself, without references and without care. The Domus are accessible but dirty and used by sheep in pasture. The XIX ^ is the largest and best accessible. However, bring a torch and sneakers because you have to climb among the scrub and even steep rocks. In any case it is a visit to do and you can also go there with the children. My parents aged 5 and 7 had a lot of fun climbing.

Interesting nuragic site, but it should be better enhanced. It deserves because the landscape is still beautiful, but compared to other sites, it is really left to itself. Too bad, also because Ittireddu would offer various cultural attractions, from the Roman bridge, to the cistern, to the ruins of Sant'Elena, up to the church of Santa Croce, not to mention the Museum.

The site is easily accessible, not far from the town of Ittireddu. You will find an open gate and a now illegible sign. From there it is possible to continue by car for another 300 meters, on a narrow and somewhat bumpy road but still practicable if the car does not have a low attitude. Already from the street it is possible to see some of the numerous domus of the site, a truly impressive sight. Once you leave the car in the clearing, I advise you not to climb the ridge as the rocks are really slippery. It is better to follow the path on the left that will allow you to visit the first four domus (it takes a bit of agility to look out over each of them). From here you can reach those seen from the road with a less steep and safer approach. Some domus are really very large and articulated, I'm not sure I've found them all. Very interesting is the domus in the façade with the arched stele outlined above the entrance door. The widest of all is a bit detached, you have to "turn the corner". Being a steep ridge I recommend good shoes and maybe avoid visiting on rainy days. A few minutes away by car, I also recommend visiting the Funtana Nuraghe.

Danmark Church

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
